Can only say that not losing strokes to drives into OB or untenable situations was an easy improvement. My easiest issue now is improving my chipping and pitching to get the ball on the green. That is more technique and practice. Depends on what you need

When I had got series of Golftec lessons, it included a fitting. I had suspected that my driver was really bad for me, but having someone do the numbers of spin, launch, strike pattern showed how bad. Then just demoing a few drivers and showing what I got from one head to another. Getting a well fit club let me work on certain parts of the swing instead of fighting the ill-fit driver too

I got fit for my driver. What a difference it made. It was also the first driver I got new instead of eBay. Of the 4 drivers I got on it over 18 years, only one did ok, with the last being such a disaster that I went back to one that was 5 years old, but at least could find the golf course. I probably would have saved money by fitting into the right driver and keeping it longer. Also if you want to save money, get fit just before the new drivers come out. I got a G400 about a month before G410 and paid about $100 less.

Hope someone here wins.

With your big cut, what it the start line? Does it start straight then fade way or goes left and then cut?

Rev, did you do all 3 clubs or just the 2 lighter clubs?

The Nemesis

Long time ago I had a SMT driver. Long and could not keep it from slicing, but that was more me. My brother in law has it now, but never plays. I might reclaim it to try out

You will probably need different shafts to help with timing a faster swing. That is his job to help you with that. And the only brands he has are high markup/cost equipment? Sounds like a had previously been a car dealer

Went out to chip/pitch practice. Had to keep convincing myself to commit to a shot. Vocalizing in my best Yoda voice, “Do or do not... there is no try” helped tremendously

When I was testing out the G400 range, I ended up finding the regular G400 was few mph faster than the G400Max. I chalked it up to the smalller club head. Suspect this is why the “Tour preferred “ heads from all manufacturers are slightly smaller than the regular heads. The main issue is enough MOI to be usable.

Getting to play in Ohio in mid-January is blessing. After my last round of only +6, was expecting to come back to earth. Leaving my putter at home didn’t help. Ended up 89, my best score at this course ever, and more importantly played with the same ball the whole round.

I remember a TXG video comparing blade vs game improvement iron. One thing they mentioned was club head drooping more with GI than the blade because of the toe weight of the GI heads. Which means requisite lie angle might be different for the G410 vs your Mizunos. Might be best to test before just changing the angle.

I did Golftec lesson plan couple years ago. I got the lessons and a 3 month unlimited practice. Being from Cincinnati, the indoor practice with video was so helpful. The lessons were great and the Clubhouse allowed me to get recaps of the lesson to help me remember things. Hope your time is as good

Got out today because was 47 and sunny. Got late start, so thought was only going to play 9, scored 42, easily my best nine. Then we thought to do a few more holes. Played 7 more holes in even par. We had skipped a couple holes because of losing light. Wished we hadn’t. My previous best was 86, and I figured out was 68 though 16 holes with a par 5 and 4 left. Doh!

Should be an older pro who is big name. I’m thinking Phil Mickelson. As for celebs, Justin Timberlake, Alice Cooper, John Smoltz, Tony Romo

My issue is not the temp for myself. It that when the high is 40, it was frosty in the morning. And the course still puts in tee times at first light. So every tee time is backed up by 40 minutes for frost and slow going all day long. Definitely walking when cold

Another person to try is Larry Cheung. Lot of emphasis on lower body movement and rotation in his teaching. Check out his channel. He has good stuff, teaches the TXG guys, and not yet built up a following to make it hard to work with him online

Congrats. I only have 6950 to go

If you want a deeper dive https://simplifaster.com/articles/overspeed-training-beyond-maximal-velocity/

I was reading up on the overspeed training studies. Most of them are in the baseball world. There was one interesting question brought up is there a minimum amount needed. This study had looked what would happen if only swinging one of the SuperSpeed clubs as opposed to all 3. Interesting that the group doing the protocol only with the 10% lighter club still produced similar speed increases to the 3 club protocols. Swinging just the heavy or lightest clubs did not improve speed. Just seeing what you think https://par4success.com/articles/are-you-using-overspeed-correctly

I am looking into rain gear. I don’t want to break the bank and found Dicks is having buy one get one free on Walter Hagen apparel. Which would let me get pants and jacket for $80. Anyone tried their rain gear?

I jumped on the Black Friday deal and got both the MTB and the MTB-X (puts them at Maxfli cost). Played nine today, able to hit one of each type through the round. Lost two of the MTB-X and still have the Black. Makes me go

That’s sick!

Golf can wait. Did love my karate before time got away with family and work. If you go away, I’m sure we’ll be here to welcome you back
